No designated program action is recorded for this measure yet — treat the above as the general obligation and verify against the source text.

This regulation establishes the subsidy application and audit management framework for Taiwan's mandatory recycling system (應回收廢棄物), operationalizing producer/importer responsibility through recovery-facility certification, performance-based subsidy rates tied to resource-recovery and hazardous-substance removal efficiency, and financial incentives to recycling and treatment operators — a core EPR implementation mechanism under the Waste Disposal Act.

Producer Definition
責任業者 (responsible parties/obligated producers) as well as 回收業 (recycling operators) and 處理業 (processing operators) who must register with the competent authority and apply to become 受補貼機構 (subsidy-eligible institutions) under this regulation
Fee Structure
Per Ton: Subsidy fee (補貼費) = certified audit quantity (稽核認證量) × subsidy rate (補貼費率). The subsidy rate (per unit of certified quantity) is set by the central competent authority after review by the Resource Recycling Fee Rate Review Committee, considering factors including target recovery/processing quantity, recycling/storage/removal/processing costs, recycling incentive amounts, processing efficiency, recycled material market value, audit certification operation costs, and the financial status of the Resource Recycling Management Fund (Article 5).
Enforcement
中央主管機關 (Central Competent Authority, i.e., Environmental Protection Administration/Ministry of Environment of Taiwan): Subsidies are suspended and certified quantities are revoked, with recovery of already-paid subsidies, in cases including: failure to report required changes after notice and deadline; failure to register documents online after notice and deadline; prosecution and first-instance conviction for illegal subsidy collection; determination of improper subsidy collection; violation of environmental laws listed in the annex resulting in regulatory disposition. Subsidy-eligible institution status may be revoked or abolished for: fraudulent application documents; ordered closure for legal violations; suspension of operations for environmental law violations; revocation/abolition of registration by the registration authority; no application for audit certification for 6 consecutive months; processing operators failing to meet processing efficiency standards for 1 consecutive year; designated recyclable waste item abolished; voluntary application for abolition; recognized as a polluter under the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act; or illegal/improper subsidy collection. Institutions whose status is revoked due to items 1–4 or item 9 may not reapply at the same site within 6 months. Institutions revoked due to illegal/improper subsidy collection may not reapply for 5 years, and their responsible persons may not serve as responsible persons of any subsidy-eligible institution for 5 years.
Preemption Notes
This is a national-level regulation under Taiwan's Waste Disposal Act. It governs the subsidy system for recyclable waste recovery and processing at the central government level. No preemption provisions are specified.
